Took the trip from Asakusa to Hamarikyu Gardens. Its a goid way to get there, but the fitter on a less wet day could was along the river. The scenery is uninspiring and going out the commentary was...

Tokyo Toshima-ku Nishiikebukuro 2-37-8

This facility where you can experience authentic disaster prevention in an urban area is located a five-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. With a tour-type program led by an instructor, you can go on three types of experiences: earthquakes, smoke and fire extinguishing. The fire extinguishing corner where you can experience fighting a realistic fire projected on a large screen uses recycled water. You can experience discharging water using indoor fire hydrants and standpipes that you do not normally use. Groups of 10 or more people can also experience the disaster training drill corner, where you create roads, rivers and danger information on a map, allowing you to recheck your ability to manage disasters and sense danger.

I come from a country with no major natural disaster. Is an eye opener for me. The staff are extremely friendly.

Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Marunouchi 2-5-2 Mitsubishi Building 1F

These regularly scheduled sightseeing bus routes make use of charming red double-decker busses. Climb onboard, take the stairs up to the roofless top deck, and go on a sightseeing tour around some of Tokyo's most prominent areas, such as Marunouchi and Odaiba. Ticket booths are scattered all around Tokyo, meaning you don't need reservations and can go on a tour whenever you feel like it. The busses' windows are purposely set low so that riders can more easily see the scenery sprawling all around them. Fun for adults and children alike, there are also special seasonal courses on which you can take in cherry blossoms in spring, fall foliage in autumn, and other seasonal scenery; and character tie-in events. The same company also operates Sky Duck amphibious bus tours which let you take in the city's sights from the sea.

We did not do the Sky Hop Buses in Tokyo after researching and trying to find the buses. We saw them when we were in our hired bus excursions but they looked like they were all open topped with no...

地下鉄の押上駅（スカイツリー駅）の近くにあります。防災関係のお仕事をしている人が研修で利用しているようです。講習会がよく開催されています。逆に言えば一般の人にはあまり縁がないようですが、それは残念なこと。防災はみんなに知ってもらってみんなで協力してやらないと意味がないですもの。だから、もっと一般の人に興味をもってもらい、いっぱい来てくれないと。スカイツリーの帰りに寄ってください。

Tokyo Sumida-ku Narihira 1-17-6

The Sky Duck is an amphibious bus that looks like a boat with tires attached and provides tours of Tokyo. The bus travels from Tokyo Skytree through the streets of Tokyo on the Kyunaka River, leaving the water to return back to the Skytree via land roads. The highlight of the tour is the “splash point,” when the bus drives full speed into the water with everyone on board, creating an exciting jolt and raising a great plume of water. The Sky Duck tour takes approximately 100 minutes. The bus makes a popular activity to enjoy either before or after checking out Tokyo Skytree itself. Tokyo Skytree Station is the closest station to bus boarding station.

After I read the reviews, I knew what to expect, but I still wanted to ride it just to see. Even though Tokyo is such a dynamic city, theyve managed to choose the least impressive route with...

It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
